Savannah River Site (SRS)
The Savannah River Site is a key Department of Energy (DOE) industrial complex dedicated to the National Nuclear Security Administration program, that supports the DOE national security and non-proliferation programs, and the EM program that addresses the reduction of risks through safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste.
The Savannah River Site encompasses over 300 square miles with more than 1,000 facilities concentrated within only 10 percent of the total land area. As cleanup activities are completed, operations will be concentrated to the site central core area. The land surrounding the central core area provides a protective buffer. All EM facilities and inactive waste units are being deactivated, decommissioned, and remediated. Facility decommissioning alternatives include demolition and in-situ disposal. However, if a viable reuse is identified, the DOE Savannah River Operations Office will remove a facility or group of facilities from the decommissioning scope.
The Savannah River Site is divided into 18 site areas, according to the types of mission activities that occurred at each. All waste types will be treated, stored and disposed. All nuclear material will be stabilized and safely stored. Groundwater contaminant plumes will be remediated to meet drinking water standards.
